ADJUSTMENTS
Ground Roller Adjustment.
To adjust the clearance between the Ground Roller and
the Cutting Blade :
•
Loosen the four Locknuts ‘ A ’, sufficient to allow
the Roller Bracket ‘ B ’, to ‘slide’ freely.
•
Turn the Adjusting Bolts ‘ C’, ‘ clockwise ’ to
reduce the Roller to Blade clearance.
•
Turn the Adjusting Bolt ‘ C ’ ‘ counterclockwise ’ to
increase the Roller to Blade clearance.
•
To ensure that the Roller Bracket is ‘square’ to
the Frame, turn the Adjusting Bolts ‘evenly’ on
both sides of the frame. Check that the ‘notches’
’
D ’, in the Roller Bracket and those in the Frame
are aligned equally, on both sides.
•
Fully tighten the Locknuts.
•
To prevent dirt build-up on the Roller, adjust the
Roller Scraper, to 1/32 in. clear of the Roller.
Pivoting Front Roller.
The Front Roller ‘ J ’ pivots in bearing ‘ K ’. The ‘polygon’
bearing does not require lubrication.
Lubricate the Roller Support Bearings. See page 6-12.
Depth of Cut.
During operation the Depth of Cut is controlled on the
Cab Control Handle. See Page 2-02.
Further adjustment can be made manually.
The machine is set-up at the factory with a Depth of Cut
setting for ‘average’ conditions.
If manual adjustment is required to the depth of cut :
•
Loosen the Rear Adjustment Bolts ‘ E ’.
•
Remove the Front Locator-bolts ‘ F ’.
•
To ‘ decrease ’ the Depth of Cut, lift the
Adjustment Frame ‘ G ’, ‘ UP ’, and fit the Front
Locator-bolts into the ‘ lower ’ hole in the
Adjustment Frame ‘ G ’.
•
To ‘ increase ’ the Depth of Cut, lower the
Adjustment Frame, and fit the Front Locator-bolts
into the ‘
upper ’ hole in the Adjustment Frame.
•
Remove the Rear Adjustment Bolts ‘ E ’, and fit
them into the same, ‘upper’ or ‘lower’, hole in the
Adjustment Frame ‘
G ’, as the front Locator Bolts.
IMPORTANT
Do not attempt to install the front Locator-bolts in
the lower set of holes in the Cutter Head Frame and
the top hole in the Adjustment Frame, as the
Adjustment Frame will foul against the Cutter Head
